Job DescriptionReports to: Chief Information Officer with indirect reporting to the Provost and EVC of Finance and Administration (project sponsor group)
General Statement Of JobThe Head of ERP/SIS Implementation is responsible for the successful transformation of the college’s ERP/SIS environment. While the implementation of a new SIS platform is at the core of the transformation program, there are also several other components that are equally important to the program’s success. These include proper definition of business success metrics, mapping business processes to the appropriate systems, designing and building appropriate integration architecture and building a state reporting solution that integrates with the new SIS.
The successful candidate must be someone with the highest caliber of technical skill and business savvy. This must be a person who has in the past demonstrated their ability to own and successfully complete similar projects as a functional and/or technical sponsor. This is not purely a project management role and will require functional and technical know-how in addition to program management knowledge. A strong working knowledge of higher education business processes and a history of successful student system implementation is strongly desired.
